Jon Ferris

I have 16 years’ experience engaging consumers and distributed assets in energy markets. I spent 12 years managing a €1bn wholesale trading book on behalf of C&I consumers, working with retailers to develop new contracts enabling market access for smaller consumers and was also responsible for delivery of market intelligence, procurement and bill validation. This breadth of responsibilities, anchored in wholesale energy trading, gave me a unique insight into the interactions between markets and policy, and a detailed understanding of the cost structures of the energy system.

I was a member of the Power Responsive forum, representing the TPI sector, and am a member of the UK ISGAN team. I have also worked on local energy markets including a p2p curtailment market on Orkney, demand response optimisation in South Korea, and oversaw market design for the PFER Smart Local Energy System detailed design for a Regional Energy System Operator. I am a frequent commentator on the energy industry, and a regular speaker at industry events.
